The functional and synergetic optimization of the thermal-catalytic system for the selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-diformylfuran: a review

Abstract

In order to alleviate oil consumption, biomass energy is developed to produce petroleum derivatives. The thermal-catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) into 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde (DFF) seems to be an effective strategy...

Studies on bimetallic Cu–Ag supported alumina catalysts for hydrodeoxygenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-dimethylfuran

“…Heavy use of fossil fuels is alarming the world due to environmental ill-issues like greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. [1][2][3][4] Therefore, the use of fuels obtained from renewable resources instead of nonrenewable resources has received remarkable attention globally. Biomass is receiving signicant interest for the production of biofuels and value-added chemicals.…”

Photocatalytic upgrading of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural – aerobic or anaerobic?

“…Pt, Au, Pd) or strong oxidants (e.g. TEMPO) to produce 2,5diformylfuran (DFF) [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) (Scheme 1b). 16,17 Both DFF and FDCA are important upstream feedstocks for antifungals, pesticides, surfactants, resins, sustainable plastics and other products.…”

Highly Selective Photocatalytic Conversion of 5‐Hydroxymethyl‐2‐furfural to 2,5‐Diformylfuran over Gold Ion Exchanged Cadmium Sulfide Nanowire

“…Various approaches, such as thermalcatalytic oxidation using catalyst-based transition metal oxide at elevated temperatures and pressures, have been reported with detail mechanism study. [8][9][10][11][12][13] The thermal catalytic reaction process is energy consuming, which can lead to either the formation of overoxidized product, such as FDCA, or an extensive distribution of intermediate oxidation products, such as DFF, HMFCA, and FFCA. Recent studies have investigated electrocatalytic oxidation for the oxidative conversion of HMF under mild conditions.…”
